Biophilic Saigon haven
Lush plants spill across a patchwork facade, enclosing a quiet world of salvaged river timber and domestic antiques.
“The 108 rooms at Myst Dong Khoi blend a minimal aesthetic with traditional local touches, like hand-carved rosewood benches…”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
A patchwork facade overflowing with greenery encloses rooms lined in stained glass.

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
The interiors are richly decorated with objets d’art, hardwood flooring, stained glass and wrought-iron accents in rooms inspired by local homes.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The hotel sits on tree-lined Ho Huan Nghiep Street, a four-minute walk from the pedestrian promenade on Nguyen Hue.
The rooms
Hardwood floors and local antiques fill the rooms, which open onto private balconies with deep outdoor soaking tubs.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
Pool, spa and gym
A 24-metre rooftop infinity pool overlooks the Saigon River, and KL Spa offers traditional Vietnamese herbal therapies.
The Nest Restaurant
Breakfast spreads across a handcrafted nine-metre wooden boat beneath the restaurant's vaulted timber ceiling.
Inside the colonial grid and dwarfed by the recently renovated Park Hyatt Saigon, you’ll find A21studio’s The Myst Dong Khoi, a theatrical example of Vietnam’s biophilia.
At the table
Bason Café serves Vietnamese coffee beneath carved wooden pillars, and ROOTY Bar mixes cocktails on the rooftop.
How it began
Salvaged teak timbers, iron grills, and a giant anchor from the demolished Ba Son shipyard shape the interiors.
